Your Majesty said that my life is worthless, so why are you crying when I increase my troops?

"Imperial envoy?"

Xia Mingyuan raised his voice and turned to look at Geng Ruhuai.

"Master Sun, you haven't been deceived, have you?"

"This man is so audacious that he wants to rape a woman in public. How could he possibly be an imperial envoy?"

"I think he's a charlatan. I'm going to take him to the government office and punish him severely!"

When Sun Yaozu heard this, his expression froze.

Looking at Geng Ruhuai, who was beaten black and blue and in an extremely embarrassed state, he didn't know how to refute for a moment.

What Xia Mingyuan said was right. Geng Ru looked frustrated and didn't look like an imperial envoy sent by the court at all. Instead, he looked like a local gangster.

Geng Ruhuai's face flushed and his neck thickened. He glared at Xia Mingyuan and roared, "Xia, you're the fake one. Your whole family is fake!"

"You dare to kidnap the imperial envoy? When I return to the capital, I will report this matter to His Majesty. Just wait for me. Even if you are the leader of the guards of the princess's mansion, I will not let you go!"

"Snapped!"

Xia Mingyuan took the scabbard from the Qilin Guard beside him and lashed Geng Ruhuai with it, pretending to teach him a lesson: "You bold lunatic! You dare to threaten this commander when you are about to die."

"Tell me, you pretended to be an imperial envoy and attacked the people in the princess's residence. Could it be that you wanted to assassinate the eldest princess?"

Geng Ruhuai grimaced in pain and shivered violently.

When Xia Mingyuan asked this, he suddenly felt a little panicked.

His real purpose in traveling all the way to Hanyang this time was to help His Majesty eliminate the eldest princess.

Unexpectedly, Xia Mingyuan guessed it right by accident!

"What nonsense!"

"When did I ever think of assassinating the princess? Don't slander me!"

In a hurry, Geng Ruhuai repeatedly denied it.

"So, you admit that you are impersonating someone?" Xia Mingyuan suddenly asked.

Geng Ruhuai was stunned on the spot, and only then did he realize that he had fallen into Xia Mingyuan's trap. He was so anxious that his face turned red and he scolded.

"Xia Mingyuan, you're talking nonsense! How dare you frame me!"

Xia Mingyuan sneered, but he was extremely horrified in his heart.

When people are extremely nervous, facing misunderstandings from others, what they subconsciously deny is often what they care about most.

Just now, he suddenly slapped Geng Ruhuai and suppressed his voice in order to make him nervous and expose his subconscious reaction.

Judging from Geng Ruhuai's performance just now, his guess was indeed correct.

Xia Tianxiong really didn't intend to let his aunt go so easily. This man has a vicious heart and will either not do it or do it to the extreme.

Since we have already torn our relationships apart, there is absolutely no reason to let my aunt live!

Thinking of this, Xia Mingyuan forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart, sneered, turned around and spread his hands towards Sun Yaozu.

"Master Sun, did you hear what this man said earlier?"

"In my opinion, this man, impersonating an imperial envoy, must have ulterior motives. You should bring him back as soon as possible and interrogate him rigorously. You might be able to catch a big fish. This would be a great achievement, Lord Sun!"

Sun Yaozu's mouth twitched, and he cursed Geng Ruhuai in his heart as a fool.

He originally wanted to argue with Xia Mingyuan and prove Xia Mingyuan's guilt, but after changing his mind, he couldn't help but feel secretly shocked.

If Xia Mingyuan was smart, he would be able to guess the real purpose of Geng Ruhuai's trip just based on the previous sentence.

Alerting the enemy!

Maybe Xia Mingyuan hasn't figured it out yet. But he doesn't dare to gamble on such a thing!

The most urgent task right now is to hurry up and get this matter over with rather than making it a bigger deal.

At that moment, Sun Yaozu's expression changed and he looked at Xia Mingyuan with a smile on his face.

"Commander Xia, it's a misunderstanding. It must be all a misunderstanding."

"To be honest, this person is indeed an imperial envoy. If you don't believe me, Lord Geng is definitely carrying a certificate of status. You two are already acquainted with each other, so why don't you both take a step back and give me some face?"

As soon as these words were spoken, before Xia Mingyuan could even open his mouth to speak, Geng Ruhuai became unhappy.

"Sun Yaozu, are you out of your mind? He hit me, and instead of punishing him, you want to reconcile with him?"

"Master Geng, please stop talking. Ignorance is not a crime. Master Xia certainly didn't do it on purpose."

As Sun Yaozu spoke, he winked at Geng Ruhuai.

"Lord Sun, are you asking me to do you a favor?" Xia Mingyuan sneered. "As the guard of the Princess's residence, I have the highest priority of protecting the Princess's safety. I must not let anyone who is suspicious go. I think this person is suspicious. Judging from your expression, do you want to vouch for him?"

"Don't forget, the pass he has on him might be fake!

"That's right, I guarantee it. Mr. Xia, don't worry. We have met Lord Geng before. There is no way someone could impersonate him."

Sun Yaozu nodded repeatedly and said in a low voice:

"Hurry up and have your people withdraw. Lord Geng is an imperial envoy after all..."

Hearing this, Xia Mingyuan smiled, waved his hand, and asked the Qilin Guards behind him to let the man go.

"Master Sun, this is you who has to vouch for this person."

"Then I must be frank. In the near future, if Her Royal Highness the Princess encounters any accident, even if she falls over a watermelon peel, I will suspect this fellow. Then you, Sun Yaozu, will be guilty of shielding her!"

"Hongying, let's go."

Xia Mingyuan glared at Geng Ruhuai, waved to Zhao Hongying, and left.

Geng Ruhuai looked at Xia Mingyuan's departing back, a cold glint in his eyes.

He turned around dissatisfied and looked at Sun Yaozu angrily. "Master Sun, why did you let them go?"

"Didn't you see how these two men beat me? If I can't kill that guy and snatch his woman away, I won't be able to get rid of the hatred in my heart."

"Oh my Lord Geng," Sun Yaozu slapped his thigh anxiously. "We were almost exposed. Xia Mingyuan accidentally set a trap for you and was waiting for us to fall into it."

"Think about it, if he keeps holding on to that remark and realizes we're going after the princess, how will we be able to secretly eliminate him then?"

"If we can't secretly eliminate the eldest princess, how will we report to His Majesty?"

Hearing this, Geng Ruhuai suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

His face turned pale, and when he recalled the previous scene, he felt a chill down his spine.

"Old Sun, at the critical moment, you are still thoughtful."

"I almost fell into this kid's trap. Fortunately, you handled it in time, and he probably didn't react."

Sun Yaozu sighed, "I hope so."

"Xia Mingyuan isn't holding on to it right now, so I guess he hasn't noticed anything."

Geng Ruhuai looked at Zhao Hongying's departing back, with a greedy look on his face.

"Ah, what a pity that such a delicate beauty can't obey me."

"After we deal with Xia Xue, we can't let Xia Mingyuan go. Sooner or later, I will get that woman."
